Hey Dealer ... it struck me long... ..ago, beginning with my Cyberspace investing board experience first on Yahoo! and now on the Porch here, that our lives are in many ways similar to these now hugely popular 'real life' TV shows ... We are here on investing message boards in the first place because of our common, riveting interest in money. We're all after a million bucks (or two or four or eight). Therefore, investing boards carry this extremely powerful 'addictive' quality, basically. We are living our lives on Voltaire's Porch <g>. And, just as in "Survivors," the "weak hands" are "culled out" from the "strong." As well, there is a "pecking order;" and "inside conspiracy," etc, via PMs on SI and email otherwise; A well-defined social community that operates with all the human frailties of real life, including the necessity of conformance to some nebulous and always self-motivated goals ... "Surviving SOCIAL POLITICS," LOL ... just heard that statement on the 'follow up' Survivor's show hosted by none other than Bryan Gumbel ... <g> ... what a 'journalist.' Said that's MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than the physical survival against the elements. Anyone else see striking similarities? LOL! All the ingredients for a sociological 'stew,' that fundamentally boils down to: MONEY. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha 'b-i-a' ###
